Introducing VP to Sierra – Aug 28
Missed Opportunities, Distractions – Aug 21, 2020
I AM GRATEFUL AND HIGHLY BLESSED! I AM FOCUSED!
PREMARKET ROUTINE & THOUGHTS
- Meditation done this time without the yoga session, trying out a meditation guide on Audible
- Feeling energized, calm and ready to trade well
- Raining outside and I like the ambience of it. Wouldn’t mind a hard rain while I trade
- Focused and know exactly what I need to do
- Let’s goooooo!
Remember the setup DOES NOT have to be PERFECT.
TRADING NOTES
09:20 – After today’s session I want to play around with hotkeys. Saw some interesting videos on YouTube about NT8 hotkeys last night
09:25 – Interesting v-shape pattern premarket
09:34 – Looks like we have a lot of buyers sitting at the 470 area. Removed original order to give them another shot at pushing the price higher before attempting to take a quick short. Thinking if we get filled down there we can eat the stops (hard and mental) of the buyers
09:36 – Scalp play worked, runner got stopped out for a small loss overall. [HINDSIGHT CAPITAL] Would have been better to take that one at the break into the wick of the previous candle.
09:41 – Looks like bears are going to have a big fight on their hands this morning. any short play needs to be aggressive at the best price
09:46 – Lack of confidence in the NT8 order but want to pull the trigger so took it in Sierra sim. Still working on my limit order placements
09:48 – Wife being kind of loud rn while cooking.. a little distracting. Need a secret cave to trade in lol
09:51 – Glad I didn’t hold that order in NT8. Would have better to play the price action over the indicators I was looking at. Play still looks long but choppy
09:53 – [RANDOM THOUGHT] Interesting how perspectives change. Friday’s used to be my favorite day of the week with dreadful Mondays.. Now completely the opposite.
10:00 – Distracted myself with making a Twitter post. Psychological regroup
10:10 – Up to this point the pivot point at 469 has been a reliable buy location but could break down if price continues to retest.
10:14 – I made the mistake of allowing myself to get distracted with another livestream on YouTube where they were having a low frequency conversation about coronavirus. Almost got involved but made the better decision to just remove myself from that waste of energy.
10:19 – Potential breakout into ATH above 500 but I don’t like breakout plays anymore.
10:24 – Setup looks so beautiful but the fact that it’s a breakout I passed and now kicking myself. Maybe I can get a retest…
